Three different climatic chambers are available in the ESE group to allow the testing of electronics modules at different temperatures. Some of the chambers are also appropriate to perform temperature and humidity cycling tests for quality verification of board assemblies. Note that ESE is not equipped to perform burn-in testing of large production batches. EP-DT have a QA test lab to qualify reliability of detector assemblies with a climatic chamber and mechanical vibration test stand.

The three climatic chambers in ESE are located in 13-S-011. The technical details are summarised below. A booking system and operating manuals are available here:
